"I think the Randy Potter course is an extra-ordinary achievement, a terrific investment for anyone who wants to become a piano technician or upgrade their professional skills, and an unbeatable value for the price. Not only does it bring together more information about piano technology than has ever existed in one place, it does so in a philosophical and ethical context conducive to producing craftspeople who will be a credit to their profession, and provides a firm practical foundation for their business success. Combined with plenty of practice, apprenticeship and continuing education, this course is one of the best vehicles available today for learning piano technology."

"Your course is really top drawer. I have spent a lot of money for things that weren't as good for me. I think every tuner, and every responsible R.P.T., ought to take this course. You have done a tremendous service for the piano tuning community. The tuning tape is the best tuning class I have ever seen. Somebody ought to tell you this is a top notch piece of work. It is high time somebody did it!"

"I like this course very much and enjoy the style of writing. There certainly is a lot of material, and it is very helpful, especially when you share past experiences."

Daniel Hallett, III, Assoc., Graduate
Meadville, Pennsylvania

"I received my diploma, for which I thank you immensely. To say that I am pleased or happy would be the understatement of the year. Overjoyed! Ecstatic! As you know, I had already been out doing tuning jobs, even before finishing the course. I have had a slowly increasing volume of business. This steady flow already more than justified the cost of the course, and the amount of time it took to complete. If you ever have anyone who wants to know if the course is worth the time and effort, please feel free to give them my number. I will be more than happy to tell them what it has done for me."

"Thank you very much for your promptness and your help. This course truly is one of the best investments I have ever made."
